It measures 1\/2 inch in diameter and 5-1\/2 inches in length, constructed to Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure applications. The seamless build reduces potential leak points, making it well suited for gas, steam, air, and water service. Black finish indicates an uncoated carbon steel surface typical of gas and industrial lines. This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on threaded iron pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is appropriate for use in residential gas distribution, commercial HVAC piping, compressed air lines, and general industrial plumbing applications where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. The 1\/2-inch NPT thread size is one of the most common sizes in light commercial and residential systems. It is typically installed inline between valves, tees, elbows, and other threaded fittings. Technicians working to IFGC or IPC standards will find this nipple meets common material requirements for black iron gas piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure service compared to Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeamless steel construction reduces weld-related failure points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch NPT threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish standard for gas and industrial iron pipe applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free construction meets applicable plumbing code requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service component for any threaded black iron pipe system accepting 1\/2-inch NPT Schedule 80 nipples per ANSI B1.20.1 thread standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench and back-up wrench technique to avoid stressing adjacent fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Seamless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B1.20.1, ASME B1.20.1, ASTM A106, ASTM A53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: XNB04055\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721088794930,"sku":"XNB04055","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5979ccaafb75bcc997a81d43cd0ce495.jpg?v=1788573346","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-xnb04055-black-steel-pipe-nipple-sch-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
